Justice League Unlimited 7/9/2005 - "Panic in the Sky"

Is that good touching or bad touching? A number of us found the scene kinda creepy.

The expanded League really reminds me of Warren Ellis’ Stormwatch comic, where the United Nations-sanctioned superheroes had their own orbiting space station, Skywatch, with a huge civilian support staff, and they could teleport down to face any emergencies anywhere. Of course, that all ended abruptly in WildC.A.T.s/Aliens one-shot when Xenomorphs (the aliens from the Alien movies) attacked, killed most of the team members, and prompted Winter to fly the Skywatch station into the sun to avoid a crash-landing on Earth that would set the Xenomorphs loose.

Who did build the Watch Tower? I assume that it was funded by Wayne Enterprises, but I am not sure.

And a related question - who is richer Wayne or Luthor?

Traditionally, Wayne.

Certainly made me chuckle :smiley:

Especially the last, throwaway line - “That’s what I heard.”

Presumably, a *fusion * reactor would not spreac nuclear waster anywhere.

Why? It seemed like simple fatherly love to me.

They don’t need the Justice League. They need Fry.

As long as they remember Scooty-Puff Junior SUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuucks…

Even if it is just for the poop eradication.

Can you or anyone else clue me in on what was said? I love the series, but I haven’t had access to television in a year, so I haven’t been able to watch any recent episodes. And now all you people in this thread are playing coy. :frowning:

Most of the founding members of the Justice League turn themselves in, except for Batman(“I’m in this part time”), to help ease the US’s collective mind about shooting the ion cannon at them. One of the arresting officals says “Where’s Batman?”

Flash responds: “He’s running late. The batmobile lost a wheel. Joker got away.”
He gets no reaction, though expecting one, then says: “That’s what I heard”

Prison Warden: “Where’s Batman?”
Flash: “He’s running late. The Batmobile lost his wheels. The Joker got away.”
Prison Warden: (looks at Flash as if something’s wrong with the Flash)
Flash: (low voice) “That’s what I heard”

Off-topic: The Flash (animated) / Lex Luthor (Smallville) turns 33 today. Happy Birthday Michael Rosenbaum.

Is it just me or has this show, since say “Task Force X” been the best animated superhero show ever? Good continuity, good writing and good voice acting - No Marvel series that I can think of comes close (except maybe Spiderman and His Amazing Friends :wink: ).

It is also why I am a little concerned about the next season. How could they possibly top what they have already done?

:smiley:

Thanks.

Despite my love of comics, I couldn’t watch most marvel stuff. I even had issues with Superman and Justice League. Justice League Unlimited, however, should be the future standard for all animated comic books (except for the major disaster that killed no one).

The Marvel animated stuff has all been crap (except maybe the 1960’s Spiderman, and even that is iffy). Batman: TAS really raised the bar for superhero cartoons. Who ever is in charge of the animated DCU has done a great job.

adam, I agree with you. Loved the old Spiderman, but that was probably because I was in single digits when I first saw them. Even the other Marvel stuff (Captain America, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man come to mind) was good. It’s probably nostalgia, but I find them better than anything between that time (including Super Friends, although I never missed an episode hoping for something good) and Batman: TAS. I felt Batman was better than Superman, and even the first season of Justice League. I always felt, up until the Thanagarian invasion, that it was simply “set up Superman for the win”.

IMNSHO, YMMV but you would be wrong as I’m right!

No, the newer X-Men (where they’re all teens) is actually pretty good. It’s aimed at a younger audience, but was certainly quality TV for teens.
